We'd like to show something on the side of the house this Halloween as part of the house decorations... something that the trick-or-treaters and/or their chaperones can watch for a few minutes as they comb the streets in search of treats.

Below are the trailers for movies to be voted on for Halloween. The poll closes at 10:00 PM October 29 so please vote by then. You can see the voting box to the right of these posts, below the welcome message.

In this charming film based on the popular L.Frank Baum stories, Dorothy and her dog Toto are caught in a tornado's path and somehow end up in the land of Oz.
